The wedding was still months away, but our daughter-in-law-to-be was anxious to get the critical elements of the wedding nailed down and given that this was going to be a Ukrainian...-Irish wedding, the bartending service was a critical element.
Months ahead of the ceremony, Louie invited us to his impressively stocked office/bar for an initial meeting. During this meeting, it became clear to all of us that we were dealing with a pro. In short order, Louie was able to tease out all the details that he needed. Had it been left up to us wedding amateurs, we would have overlooked a number of essential elements. Not only did Louie help us identify our needs, but he also helped us to stretch our budget because he made recommendations as to what distributors offered the best deals when it came to purchasing the alcohol (per the contract, Louie provided the manpower and mixers, we purchased the alcohol). We all walked away from the meeting immensely impressed and the bride-to-be was able to cross that item off her list because we didn’t need to talk to anyone else. Louie was our guy.
A few days after the meeting Louie sent us an easy to understand, comprehensive contract, and Louie promised to give us a recommended purchase list once our final numbers were in. Sure enough, no sooner did we furnish Louie with our final numbers than he furnished us with his purchase list. Had we blindly abided by Louie’s list, everything would have probably worked out perfectly, but erring on the side of safety, we bought extra. Fortunately, as Louis promised, so long as the liquor had not been refrigerated, the vendor would accept the excess as returns, and that is exactly what happened.
In between the purchases and the returns, there was a small matter of the wedding. Quite honestly, it could not have gone any better. Louie’s team was on time and on target. He and his employees were the epitome of professionalism. Their service was timely, cordial, and sanitary. They were a real crowd pleaser. I guess you could say the attendees found Louie’s team intoxicating.
If we come across anyone that is in the market for a mixologist, Louie will get our ringing endorsement. We are so pleased that Louis and his team were available to help us celebrate a very special day. Book him now if you have the opportunity!
